I have installed apt-fast, but I only get aria2 downloader and nothing else. I like to use axel, and have installed it too, but I cannot use it for apt-fast.

I also tried:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-fast

but get only aria2 as option, (and also custom option)

I want to use axel, how to do so?

axel support is gone with apt-fast 1.8.1 because axel does not support following features:

  • multiple mirrors per file
  • continuation of partly downloaded files

But if you want to use axel anyway (and make sure you don't use the MIRRORS option - which is disabled as default) you can simply set up the following custom command:

 cat "${DLLIST}" | xargs -l1 axel -n "${_MAXNUM}" -a
